Overview
- The Today co-host, celebrating her book on Tuesday, was brought to tears when her three children walked onto the set with flowers in their first live appearance since their father's death.
- Through Mom’s Eyes draws on years of interviews with the mothers of well-known figures, including Lady Gaga, Lin‑Manuel Miranda, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Tyra Banks, and Matthew McConaughey.
- Jones postponed the original release to care for her husband, Uche Ojeh, who died in May 2025 from glioblastoma, then rewrote the opening and closing to reflect that experience.
- She dedicates the book to Kayin, Clara, and Uche Jr., describing it as something they can keep and highlighting themes she calls resilience, faith, and sisterhood.
- The book grew from her 2018 Today series and seven years of reporting, and she is promoting it on air and at launch events after publication by G. P. Putnam’s Sons.
